Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR:
The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's death is nightmare or bangungot. Medical
investigators in China , Japan and several Asian countries who
performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute hemorrhagic
pancreatitis" found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as
their supper.
This was a startling finding. However, it wasn't the noodles that
caused nightmares but DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol
or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty
stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a
person to dehydrate or lose water.
It is therefore advisable for a person to take
several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several
alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid
it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting
the sack and drink plenty of water. The most impor tan t thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water
during your 8 hour rest.
